Eric Schmidt on Tech Titans and American Security

Some of the biggest names in tech [were] in Santa Monica, California [last] week, at Oasis: The Montgomery Summit. On that list [was] Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt. Here, he [discussed] the most powerful forces in tech with Bloomberg West anchor Emily Chang and Google Idea's Jared Cohen.

Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google.  Different customer philosophy, business models.

Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt and Google Ideas Director Jared Cohen discuss the company's relationship with the NSA and privacy concerns Oasis: The Montgomery Summit in Santa Monica, California.

I imagine Google has classified relationships with US government, perhaps the NSA included, which Schmidt will not reveal in a million years.  I imagine, moreover, that Google is among tech titans advising the NSA how to better protect Americans via Big Data and analytics.  Finally, I imagine that Google work assiduously to keep control over the gargantuan data it has already collected on all of us via wide-ranging product offering.

Thank you for reading, and let me know what you think!
